Never one to fail in providing chuckles for his fans, Eli Manning displayed a hilarious background during Monday’s edition of the “ManningCast” this week.

Peyton and Eli Manning began the popular “ManningCast” program on ESPN2 and ESPN+ during the 2021 season, two years after the younger brother played his final NFL season for the New York Giants.

The brothers returned for their show on Monday, with the New England Patriots hosting the New York Giants in prime time. The game evoked special nostalgia for Eli, who led the Giants to victories in Super Bowl 42 and Super Bowl 46 over Tom Brady’s mighty Patriots.

The game itself was a snoozefest for non-Patriots fans. Other than Jaxson Dart taking a bone-crunching but perfectly clean hit from Christian Elliss? There weren’t many highlight reels in this one.

If you watched the game on the “ManningCast?” You probably got to enjoy Eli Manning’s hilarious background shown on television:

Fans were in stitches over Eli’s background.

“Love how eli looks normal in the pic 😅,” one user said.

“It’s even funnier that the top of Peyton’s head is cut off in this picture.. can’t even get his whole forehead in one shot 😂,” wrote a fan.

“Eli Manning’s background is elite,” said another.

“Both their foreheads are astronomically huge but Peyton’s hairline is receding. Eli will look just like him in 3-5 years,” one fan wrote.

“Not Peyton’s forehead disappearing into the top of the screen too🤣,” a user added.

“Next level trolling,” said a fan.

The “ManningCast” has three more games this season, per ESPN. They’ll return for the Miami Dolphins-Pittsburgh Steelers Week 15 game. They’ll also call matchups in Week 18 and the wild-card round, with those contests TBD.

Eli Manning Spent His Entire 16-Year Career With The Giants

Manning was drafted first overall by the San Diego Chargers (now Los Angeles Chargers) in 2004. As everyone recalls, he refused to play for them.

A deal was quickly reached to send him to the Giants, with Philip Rivers (the No. 4 pick) headlining the return to the Bolts. Eli Manning would spend his entire 16-year career with the Giants, leading them to six playoff appearances and two Super Bowls. He was named the Super Bowl MVP in both triumphs.

Manning lost his starting job to rookie Daniel Jones early in the 2019 season. He decided to retire in 2020, though the Giants haven’t gotten any better as a franchise since his departure.
